their nature, spiritual beings. But they can choose to manifest in our
realities in a form that we can most relate with. And since on this
planet we are acquainted to think of humans as the only intelligent
beings, it is understandable why angels often appear in human forms. The
people who report having seen an angel (or angels) appearing to them
often say that they look like human beings, except that they are a lot
taller, brighter and they seem to have wings on their backs.
I would like to ask if anybody know what is the meaning of those wings. Why do they need them for?
I've never seen an angel in my life, I just know they do not have wings from their plan of existence. Anyway the sight is not the only mean of perceiving, is it?
Usually spiritual realities will manifest in a different ways. From one dimension view to another, they are seen differently. For example our level of understanding of something spiritual gets better as we evolve, right?
The way we understood those things when we were 8 years old is not the same as we do today. Today we say “I understand” but In few years we will say “Damn, I didn’t understand, NOW I understand” and so we continue seeing those things differently as we develop, because our mind changes regions. But those things have never changed their meaning from where they are originally!
Now some people are clairvoyant, but there are many degrees of clairvoyance, so based on how great they are, they will see things from their limitations. And so they see angels in other dimensions appearing with wings. But from their own space, angels do not have wings in the forms we humans imagine.
I don’t blame people who paint angels with wings even if it’s not 100% accurate, because look, if they do not paint them with wings, how would we make the different between angels and humans from a picture?

; An angel picture would look like a simple human's, that would be sad
The wings testify of the angels ability to fly in many spaces. And they are many sorts of wings which explains the kind of space they can fly; ancient clairvoyant mentioned in the bible for example have seen some angels who have many eyes in their wings, some others have large big wings… Those wings are in reality subtle centers in their back. Those energy centers gives them the freedom to travel all kinds of space. This wings affair is also found in old mythology with Hermes, son of Zeus . Hermes was pictured as a man with wings at his feet, at the ankles. It’s because there’s also an energy center at the feet that gives the same kind of power but in a different plan of existence.
We know that a part from the 7 main centers (called chakras), there are plenty other centers on the human etheric body. Now it’s important to note that there are also 2 centers at the back, at shoulder-level, which are exactly what wings are in our human soul. Those 2 centers are not really developed in ordinary humans, and in fact, they are not developed to the majority of us. But they are fully developed to angels.
Wings on angels is just a way for nature to explain about those centers found at the back of those creatures. Nature says, the feet helps creatures to walk better on earth, arms to swim better in water, and wings to fly in the air. Because try to travel to a remote country on foot, you will take years, travel by swimming, you will still take many months, but fly then you will get there in few hours. So feet are related to earth and to the will; arms are related to water and to the feelings, wings to air and to the thoughts. This is why those who have developed their thoughts can truly fly in the mental space, which is best space to fly faster.
